Summary
Enables several functions, including actin binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity; and type I transforming growth factor beta receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of cellular component biogenesis. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion and protein localization to cell junction. Located in cytosol; focal adhesion; and nucleoplasm. Is extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Part of adherens junction and plasma membrane. Biomarker of acute myeloid leukemia. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
